Methods and formulas
Each method page explains one formula in depth and lists the calculators that use it.
Methods and formulas
- Design size and fabric to cutHow the size of a cross stitch design follows from its stitch count and the fabric count, how much fabric to add around it, and charts for common counts.
- Fabric count conversion: Aida, evenweave and linenHow a design changes size on another fabric count, why linen over two matches Aida of half the count, and charts of design size and stitch size by count.
- Floss per skein: why the figures disagreeHow skeins of floss are estimated from stitches per skein, why published figures differ by more than half, and how to measure your own from one test length.
- Stitching time: pace, coverage and scheduleHow stitching time is estimated from the stitch count and your stitches per hour, how to time your own pace, and charts of hours and weeks by project size.
